If the environmental politician Robert Habeck could have carved out a US climate protection law, the result might not have been far removed from that Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that the United States enacted a few weeks ago. President Joe Biden’s reform package provides for subsidies of at least 370 billion dollars (345 billion euros), which will be used, among other things, for the expansion of renewable energies, the conversion of industry to CO2-neutral production and the promotion of e-cars, green Hydrogen, heat pumps and electricity storage should flow. One could also say: It is the Program to limit global warming, which climate protectionists around the world have been demanding for years from the world’s largest economy.
